We constantly look to gun control, security in our schools, study of the psychological makeup of murderers, and our politicians to solve the problems of mass murder. Every cause has an effect, and in the Newtown shootings, we are seeing the effect of the worst thing that ever happened to America. We have forgotten God.

We have put out of our lives that which was instrumental in the formation and building of this great country. With God came ethics and standards of living through our churches that led to responsible people. Through Him and the sacrament of marriage between one man and one woman came the family.

" Mr Slavin,95% of this great Republic couldn't agree with you more. Somehow it is the 5% that has made the most noise and torn apart this great experiment called America. Is it because, like you stated, we are good and want to please everyone? Is that how we've allowed ourselves to lose our principles, to let some twist the words of our constitution? Or is it just simply good and evil having a battle using us as pawns?

We must raise our children to be the "Next Greatest Generation" or there will be no free place left on earth. "

" I believe over the course of history people who believe in God and believe they are doing what God wants have been responsible for more murders than any other group. The last thing we need is more God. "
